Welcome Lovie, and look at it this way. Now you know people who have had some complications, made it through just fine and still recomend this surgery to others. I am one of those and I would do it all over again. I am doing just great now and know I would be be in much worse shape if I hadn't had the surgery. Just the fact that my meds were cut in half, no more like 3/4 is the greatest feeling.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Welcome Lovie. Glad to see you here. I'm excited about your surgery being Oct. 1. We are right there together, including our weight. My surgery is scheduled 9/28/07. Have you had to do the liquid diet to prepare for your surgery?

Jeanne, Thanks for the affirmation. I think I know the positives way outweight the negatives. You are right, I have to look at it as you said. These things have happened to people and they are still ok. Thanks |
